Oh no....time to starting thinking about CHRISTMAS!

I can't believe it's getting so close already. I have next to nothing completed (or planned!) I haven't bought anything for my kids. I have finished ONE small gift and started 3 others. But beyond that? Nada. Oh, wait, I am DONE with my Christmas cards! Thanks to the stamp-a-stack I went to over the weekend. Actually this is only 16 cards...so I'll probably either make more or buy more (because I send out more than 16 usually). But at least it's a good start!

I was going to share a card...but blogger and I don't seem to be getting along this morning and it's not letting me add a photo. So you'll have to come back later and visit me again if you came to visit the artwork and not my general ramblings ;-)

I went in to work yesterday morning and left my little halloween cups. Most people weren't in yet. I talked to one of my coworkers later in the day and was told noone had even asked about the cups...where they came from, who they were from, etc. The group there is such a strange group. I like my little team (there are three woman analysts and then my male boss) but we work closely with the Development Team (all men). Out of that group there are two guys that seem pretty normal...the rest are kind of prima donnas. I've never worked in a place full of men where you can have donuts or cake and still have it left at the end of the day. This place most of the guys are watching their weight. They bicker and fight over little things (like cat fights over someone talking on the phone too loud...or people not being "team players"). Just not the typical "guys" in my experience. So I guess it doesn't surprise me that they didn't ask at all about the candy cups. Maybe next time I'll just do it for my team of 4.

Well, off to get ready for work. I'm so tired and grouchy this morning. It's been a long week (and halloween in the middle of it didn't help). I couldn't believe they actually sent home homework last night for both kids...so after rushing to do dinner and go trick-or-treating...we still had to come home and do homework.
